Ponies: They have bigger eyes and thicker legs then real ponies. They are also very colorful. They consist of these races.
earth ponies: ponies born with magic that helps in growing plants and gives them more raw strenght.
Xenotypes: Normal 99.9%, evolved pony 0.08%pegasi: ponies with feathered wings and capable of flight. They are capable of manipulating the weather in big groups.
Xenotypes: Normal 99.9%, evolved pony 0.08%unicorns: unicorns are capable of bending magical energy to their will, using their spiral horn. Every unicorn knows at least how to use telekenises.
Xenotypes: Normal 99.9%, Sanguophages 0.01%, evolved unicorn 0.08%bat ponies: bat ponies are noctural and unlike other races they only have grey shades of coat. They all have skewed pupils with only yellow and orange scleras. They have bat like wings capable of flight.
Dracony: Not to be confused with kirins. These are special and very rare. There is less then a hundred of these, leading to inbreeding and neccesary interacial romance. They are red with yellow sclera and have sharp wings. With the most we known one being called Carnival Boss.
Kirins: Kirins are just as colorful as ponies. Kirins have a curved tail and a red horn. They have scales on their back and a necklece of hair around their neck. They can also breath fire.
Gootraxians: Gootraxians are humanoid anorganic semi-liquid lifeforms, that can only reproduce by assimilating other bipedal organisms. They are 2 times more resistant to damage then a human. They live in the colony of Fequm and Acrab.
Xenotypes are geneticaly modified individuals, using specific types of xenogerms. Those being:
Sanguophages: Basicaly wampires, they need blood as an addition to their diet. They are somewhat better at magical spells, their skin and hair are 4 times more vulnerable to fire. They are partialy immortal, they need to be killed multiple times to truly die. They are sensitive to sun light, moving slower and feeling uncomfortable in sun light. They are good in melee combat and intellectual work. They need to "deathrest" inside dedicated coffins, depending on the individual, their coffins can be attached to additional machinery that can provide them with bonuses. They have additional abilities related to blood, those being coagulating wounds, shooting keratin spines and long jumping.
Evolved unicorn: This xenotype has much stronger magical potential, stronger then Sanguophages. They are glamorous. They have weak melee damage. Are vulnerable to fire like Sanguophages. Kinda suck at animal related work. They feel strong need to stay in a herd. They are immune to several age related conditions. They have fully toxic immune lungs, however their lungs are easily asphyxiated by ash. They very fast runners, have ultra gene stabilizing. Make for bad miners and are dead calm.
Evolved pony: Similar to evolved unicorn but robust, without fire vulnerability, glamour and increased magical potential. They have early maturity, are very happy and great patterning abilities.
Geography of Bigpipstan
Table with points of interests and maps has been moved here.
The weather in the mainland and partialy on Fequm is pleasant. Because of pegasi being able to manipulate weather in large numbers. However this doesn't mean there aren't heat waves and cold snaps. Weather in the mainland and Fequm is manipulated but not on Acrab.

Brief history of Emperor Bigpip
Before Bigpip was a alicorn emperor, he was a human engineer. A misanthrope engineer who was born on a spaceship that was flying across the universe. One day they were passing a sparsly inhabited planet when their ship was shot down. He managed to survive in a emergency shuttle and landed on the planet. There he struggled to survive but was rescued by lovecraftianish cultists who have allowed him to survive. One day they were performing a ritual and he was selected for it. They were invoking a deity of transformation and Bigpip was first to make a wish. His wish was to become a ageless alicorn. To his suprise, he lost conciousness and woke up inside a spaceship. The spaceship was tiny compared to where he used to live. Repairing his new spaceship, he explored nearby planets. Almost all planets he explored hed life on them, making him question if he was still in the same universe as he was before his transformation. Eventualy he found a door, which looked like a portal. He packed his supplies and entered the portal, the doors broke after that, making him stuck on a unknown planet. He found that, the planet resembled that of the ancient cartoon "My little pony" where he got his inspiration for the alicorn form. He eventualy integrated into the local society, and found his talent for leadership. He later explored lands over seas of Equestria, then he got a ambitious idea. With Twilight Sparkle seeking somepony to take her place and the only other alicorn being nominated was Flurry Heart, he did what he could to take the throne. Working diligently he succeded and founded his own nation on top of Equestria. Working under the new ideology of Neo-Harmonism he rulered Anocratic empire, which foreigners have decided to badly name it "the nation of Bigpipstan". Which was ofcourse officialy named Anocratic empire.
Neo-Harmonism
Neo-Harmonism is a updated expansion of the old Equestrian Harmonism. Old Harmonism was based around absolute pacifism, peace (and by extension order) and promotion of it's six virtues. Those virtues being: magic, loyalty, generosity, kindness, laughter and honesty. Neo-Harmonism allows for some violence and expands on this by the following ideas:
Equal monoculture
: acording to Neo-Harmonist philosophy, different cultures cannot peacefully co-exist long term along one another, as such should instead be assimilated into nation's primary culture.Decelerationism
: Change can be good but rapid change can have devastating short term and long term conseqences. Political reforms should happen gradualy and slowly. Technological progress is culturaly destructive must for the same reason be slown down. People should not be forced to adapt to technology, idealy technology should adapt to people.Autarkist socialism
: class warfare has no place in a harmonious society as such there should be no private bussinesss and means of production should be owned collectivly by workers. The economy itself should be planned in a decentralised manner, from bottom up, in order to maximize efficiency and avoid excessive bureaucracy.Gerontocracy
: The elders have the most experience and as such are the most suited for leadership. The oldest person should always lead the nation.State atheism
: It should be duty of the state to non violently root out any deity worshipers. Deities pose existential threat to any civilization and as such, should be ignored completly.Colonialism
: It is within the right of our people to settle distant land to spread our species and ideology. Using force if neccesary to achive this goal and to protect our settlements.
Tri-star Harmonism
Neo-Harmonism but isolationist instead of colonialist. 35.5% of the population identifies with this ideology.
Furry liberation
Furry liberation is a branch of Neo-Harmonism which belives that despite lack of sapience, animals are people too. Furries advocate for legal animal personhood and ban on hunting and fishing. 0.5% of the population identifies with this ideology
Equinelike supremacists
Equinelike supremacists belive in superiority of Ponies and kirins. They see slavery as a honorable duty and despise non medical drugs. They hate non medical drugs due to their bad experience with alcohol addiction. 1.5% of the population identifies with this ideology.
Ethical justice
A ideology that is strogly against slavery. It's also a cultured collectivist ideology which beliefs that being in sunlight is bad. It's a ideology which advocates for buying and emacipating slaves as well as adopting a noctural bookish lifestyle. This ideology has spikecore esthetic associated to it. "I have writing books for most of my life, and I have learned one main thing: Nature made no man a slave. I like to joke that this was my light-bulb moment." -Tropical Hay, one of the ponies who developed this ideology. 0.1% of the population identifies with this ideology.
Vortex: God of death and guns.
Nebula: God of magic
Stardust: God of stars and tides/water
Solar: God of fire/heat and melee weapons.
Economy
The means of production are mostly colectivly owned by workers, with few being owned by goverment bodies. The national economy is decentraly planned by local worker councils, which actions are overseen by the central goverment. The central goverment doesn't get involved in the economy often, outside of inspections. People get goods for vounchers istead of traditional capital. The empire has a closed economy, meaning only the emperor and the imperial council can offer trade deals with someone outside the empire. Others need explicit permission.
Credits in Anocratic empire refers to a cashless currency that citizens in Anocratic empire are paid in electronicaly, for their work. Credits are used by citizens, through their ID cards, which also work as debit cards. Because of this, those who aren't members of Anocratic empire can't physicaly obtain it. This is why Acrab currency notes exist, to facilitate international trade.
Acrab currency notse. Which are imported from client state of Blahdstan. Each note is backed by 48.54ml of nutricious milk.
Applejack's agriculture: Union of various farmers across the Anocratic empire
Fequm science initiative: Biggest scientific society in Anocratic empire.
Bonbani Xenogerms: They have developed reliable xenogerm technology for pony use. Having xenogerms to greatly improve their body without any change in appearance. With only concerning side effect being extra vulnerability to volcanic ash and for the unicorn version specificaly, which improves magical abilities. With the side effect of being 4 times more vulnerable to fire! They also have xenogerms for gootraxians but those weren't approved by medical authorities.

electricity sourcesGovernment
The nation central goverment(sometimes called Imperial goverment) is rulered by Emperor Bigpip with a council which helps him govern. The emperor hold both executive and legislative power, with the council having some of that legislative power. Citizens may vote on issues directly through petitions, petitions first go through local goverments before going to the central goverment. Council member are sometimes elected by citizens and sometimes appoited by the emperor. The goverment overall is a regionalized unitary state.
The goverment is structured like this: The lowest division is a commune, the representative of a commune is called a Communist. Above communes are towns and cities, representatives of those are called Mayors. Above those are regions, the representatives of regions are called Presidents. Above regions are goverment organizations. Presidents have an Administrator leading alongside them. Candidates for government positions are selected randomly, from people who live in region or commune that is holding the election. Candidates for national government are instead randomly picked from local and regional politicians currently serving their term at the time. Once candidates are picked, citizens vote on them, using preferential voting. Before an election takes place, all candidates have equal opportunity to campain.
The imperial council has the following position: Elder Farmer (1), Head Arbiter (1), Military overseer (1), High administrator (29), high president (29).
While the goverment does allow immigration, you cannot leave once you immigrate here. You also have to be transformed into a gootraxian of your choice when immigrating here.
ColonialismMinistry of loyalty
This organization does national censuses and handles migration of people. On top of also occasionaly producing propaganda.
Ministry of honesty
This organization is seperated into two departments. This is because its a organization dealing with goverment corruption and having just one depardment could lead to it's corruption and having the bureucrats corrupt in the organisation fighting corruption would be very bad.
Ministry of kindness
This organization administrates the empire's healthcare system as well as allocating enough resources for it.
Ministry of laughter
This organization administrates goverment owned entertainment and cultural facilities. Such as museums, parks, brothels etc.
Ministry of magic
This organization administrates goverment owned schools and handling of magicaly charged materials. As well as magic related research projects.

The police
the police is a decentralized organization which consists of localy elected law enforcement officers who come equiped with a shotgun and rubber pellets to enforce law and deal with destructive or violent trouble makers. However they do not usualy fight with armed criminals. That is the military's job. Police officers wear purple to black gradient uniforms and a ribbon with five didgete number on it and a leg band badge. Police officers also have a special ID card containing a number matching that of their ribbon; in order to prove themselfs as officers of the law.
Ministry of defence is a institution that manages and organizes majority of military activity. As the name implies, this is the strictly internal defensive part of the military which defends civilians from threats in colony of Acrab and possible internal threats that could happen.
Ministry of warfare
Ministry of warfare is part of the military that handles exclusively potential external threat. They deploy troops beyond claimed territory and do well, warfare stuff. Unsuprisingly, this organization is made up of Equinelike supremacism, because if you the type of person to actually belive in Equinelike supremacism, then you would enlist in this organization.

Commercial unit ministry
Institution which assigns value to different items. It controls productions of vauchers and foreign use bank notes. Regional governments can override this institution's decisions if there is a justified reason.
Magic
"Magic" itself is a higher state of energy which flows around the universe. Magical energy in it's raw form is refered to as a "background magic field". This field of magical energy can be tapped into by those who have the biological means to make use of it in one way or another. This higher form of energy can change into a lesser form of energy. (radiation, heat and electricity.) While background magic field is normaly constant, it can fluctuate as things interact with it.
Majority of sapient creatures can make use of magic. Magic for most is a passive thing that they can't influence, passive magic usualy gives one's body stronger then one's body is naturaly. For earth ponies this means that their body is physicly tougher and have agricultural benefits. For pegasi this means having ability to fly despite their wings being naturaly too small for flight.
Kirins and unicorns are the only races which can bend magic to their will, this is know as spellcasting. Spellcasting is the process of bending surrounding magical energy around one's horn and then releasing it to produce a desired effect. To one incapable of spellcasting, the process itself can be descriped as writing computer propts in your mind by pure intent and focus.
There is a aspect of magic beside passive body use and spellcasting, Enchanting.
Enchanting is applying a magical effect on a object. The most ideal objects for enchanting are gemstones and crystals, due to their microscopic crystaline structure which is capable of storing magical energy similar to a battery storing electric charge.
For example, the least difficult enchatment to create is making a gemstone glow, the spell itself needs little energy depending on the intesity of the glow and as such does it can fuel itself by natural surrounding magic.
Magical energy is measured in Thaums. One Thaum is equal to 40 watts.
Most ponies and kirins never learn many spells. Those that do specialize in a certain field of spellcasting.
Imperial military
The average soldier is equiped with plated steel armor with few using armor with a exoskeleton. A ballistic firearm, usualy an assualt rifle. There are also Magical energy(lazer) weapons are used for targets that are bad at resisting heat. Our military also deploys
combat mages who are capable of combat applicable spells. Our airforce consists of airships that bombard enemy positions, large airships are used to transport supplies since they can land anywhere. They are slow, so trains and waterships are preferable. Our navy mostly consists of
destroyers and Janpian corvets.When it comes to the empire's military practices. The military focuses on minimizing casualties and defence. Which manifests itself in construction of walled cities, outposts and prefering not to use soldiers to resolve conflict, which is why the military has special forces that include trained animals and robots.
As an emergency measure. Military has contracted a research settlement on Acrab to provide it with a combat drug named Glitter. This mildly addictive drug boosts a soldier's work speed, sprinting speed and make them less tired.
The same research settlement has also developed new single use bio-weapon.
The military has also contracted a company from [nation] [/nation] to produce the new Manticore main battle tanks. Which the military currently has 100 of.
Current Army Personnel: 1208 thousand total, 1108 thousand active, 110 thousand reserve.
Current navy Personnel: 45 thousand total, 25 thousand active, 20 thousand reserve.
Enlistment age is 21.

However due the high addictiveness of the drugs and severe withdrawal. The obsidian empire has decended into chaos. With those refusing to use the drugs flying to somewhere unknown. However there was a bigger threat looming. The shattered empire got into conflict with a newly build organ growing facility. This erupted into the shattered empire being driven out of the colony of Acrab for a long time until they returned recently with a neutral attitude. The war was mostly fought with small zeppelins.invasion of Otoris
Participants: Anocratic empire VS. Kingdom of Hayees, Misercodia
Context: Invasion of Otoris was a offensive war fought by Anocratic empire against two states. Since the war was fought very far away on a different planet. The military personal send to fight was free to do what they wanted since there wasn't communication back to Anocratic empire. When the invasion of two states was over. Eighty thousand naval mines was deployed around the conqured islands. The soldiers established a temporaly military administration which ebslaved everyone on the islands. This war saw the biggest deployment of the Anocratic empire's navy ever.
When Emperor Bigpip hed enough energy to power portals to have the forces withdraw, he went to the three islands to give a speach. After he gave a speach, he was alerted by a pegasus that there is a humanoid running away from them into a forest. The humanoid was armed with a revolver, which he accidentaly shot himself with in the leg; while Emperor Bigpip was chasing him. Bigpip captured the male humanoid and took him to a military camp where he was tended. Bigpip used this opportunity to try a new potion which was developed. The humanoid was angry about it but in the end decided to stay on the islands all alone while everyone else left. 14300 were killed and 12373 were captured on the islands.
Invasion of Bronze sea
Participants: Ravena, Wakewood
Context: Invasion of Bronze sea is an armed conflict that took place very shortly after invasion of Otoris. In this war a fleet of six corvets was teleported with a prison ship and civilian sailing ships. However the military realized too late that they are being too agressive. Since they completely used up reserves of magical energy used to power teleportation devices and hed no way of sending the naval forces send home after scouting and occupying islands. Luckily there was a sympathetic human named Adam Price who was to the suprise of the imperial navy, familiar with magical energy and was eager to help.
The imperial navy with the help of Adam Price, who turned out to be a local famous hero. Managed to put togather a charged teleporter for the imperial ships. Adam Price used his fame with the navy's might to convince 6858 people that they will be better off going away with the navy. Once everything was prepared, Adam Price activated the device and navy's ships sailed through the oppened portal as fast as they could, hoping they would not immidiately die on the other side. The ships have arrived next to Commagene on Fequm sea, they each fell from 30 meters. Because the open portal was floating 30 meters above the Fequm sea. Everyone on and inside the ships was relieved that they managed to get to Anocrtatic empire safely. After the imperial fleet left, Adam Price looked where the portal closed, he wanted to go with them later but he hed a duty as a local hero. So he abandoned the the device used to open the portal. He sailed on his armored ketch to a naval base of the local authorities and got a contract to become a bounty hunter. Wearing enchanted iron armor with a backpack on top of it, he got to work... Adam Price later returned to the teleportation device that has been left on the island. Adam Price sailed there with his armored ketch with a new crew. Managing to charge the device again. The device opened a portal through which they sailed. They fired a cannon ball as they entered the portal. Resulting in the portal being closed as the back of the ship was cut off.

Participants: Anocratic empire, Ore Res
Context:
He saw an email from high ranking military officer titled "Gootraxian desserters" alarmed he read it.
"My Emperor i must inform you that the military occupation in has fallen and was conqured by another state. Our gootraxian soldiers have evacuated. However we have reports that 2000 assimilative gootraxians have used the portal gate to Earth before it ran out of energy. Why they weren't stopped, i don't know.
However we found an officer involved in this. He revealed the plans of those desserters. They plan to make a settlement in 'north Mexico' called 'The Latex lab' and use their assimilative ability to create a horde of obedient clones. After that they plan to a occupy part of mexico and settle a part of 'USA' close to 'Mexico'
Bigpip wrote a reply before checking less alarming sounding mail.
" Even more desserters? I will forward this information to the Imperial council. We will probably have to pass a legislation to make this more difficult to happen again. When you find more information. Please contact me again."
After this Bigpip visited his husband and gave him a kiss. He spread his wings and flew to the capital city which is next to his castle. It was slightly foggy. So pegasi must have been slacking of slightl. He entered a low stoneblock building where meetings of central goverment take place. He washed his hoofs in a water bowl next to the door with liquid. Then he greeted the secretary pony and told her to arrange a meeting with council members of the central goverment, regarding the military dessertion. She told him that she will do just that.
Bigpip nodded and turned to leave. He hoped there wasn't a bigger conspiracy at play, it would not be the first per say. Since in the early days of Anocratic empire, there was a lot of corruption among those in power. However corruption is minimal now due to anti corruption measures firmly in place. Such as the inside of goverment building having cameras installed to heavily discorage shady deals.
Bigpip flew back to his castle. Upon arrival, his husband Harmonious Percussion told him "Have you forgot about our marriage anniversaly love?"
"Ofcourse not love, i'm just not sure how to celebrate it."
"How about we get drunk on mushroom wine after a lavish dinner in a Fequm town?"
"I suppose that could work love. Let's go catch a train and travel to Fequm. First i will leave a note saying where we are going. In case somepony will be looking for me."
Bigpip with Harmonious Percussion left the castle and arrived at a trainstation. They got on a train heading the way towards the Fequm portal gate. The train was electricity powered locomotive with a stripe of royal purple going across it and the carts that it was pulling.
By night, they both arrived at the other side of the Fequm portal to celebrate their wedding anniversaly.
Bigpip with his husband arrived on Fequm and they traveled to Commagene region. Where they talked with some strangers to get an idea how things are on this part of Fequm. After having enough of socializing. The two of them exchanged luxury vouchers for bottles of mushroom wine at a restaurant as well as for a lavish gourmet meal. They both hed a good time and left drunk in great mood. When they recovered, they felt cold and snuggled next to a river.
"Did we go too far with the wine, Harmonious Percussion?"
"Not quite love, however it is getting cold and we have mud sticking to our coat. We should go."
A gootraxian fisherman covered in heated clothes saw them leaving. When Bigpip with Harmonious Percussion left and arrived at a park with public showers next to it. The two of them showered togather. After cleaning off the mud they dried off and slowly walked to the portal gate with messy coat and mane. They arrived at the morning exhausted. They waited long time in a waiting room with other ponies, who were sleeping untill the portal gate was to be opened again. The two of them decided to join them.
When the portal was finaly opened, they went through with their ID cards on display and trotted to catch a train. When they did, they eventualy arrived in the capital region of Imperial castle and arrived home where they combed their coat and mane...
A long time has passed and the 2000 assimilative gootraxians who have desserted, procceded as their leaked plans indicated. They created a horde which conqured north America (not Canada though, since the climate above USA is too cold.)
The gootraxian horde has faced fortified resistance from two states in USA and three independant cities. However when the gootraxian military leadership figured out how to create and deploy catapults, the entire USA was overrun by the gooey horde rather easily. Central America was almost abandoned, so after taking over fortified survivors in what could be considered the southernmost Mexico. The gootraxian horde build sailing ships to move to south America. The military leadership ordered two settler groups to travel to central America and exploit gemstones and other resources there.
On their way south. They assimilated a group of soldiers in west Cuba and sieged down Haiti with it's neighbor. They faced armed ships shooting down some of their sailing ships but it was not enough to stop them.
When the horde finaly sailed to south America they encountered three independant states with Korea occupying what could be considered most of Brasil. The korean forces were assimilated by the horde and their fortified cities soob followed along with one of the three independant states.
The gootraxian units tried to conqure what could be considered Colombia. However they failed even with trebuchets.
While this whole ordeal was happening. Egypt tried to do what Korea did and that was stopping the gootraxian spread in south America.
Meanwhile at the main base of operations, some may say the 'capital'. Spiritual buildings were being constructed and missionaries were send to throughout conqured USA to spread the word of Equine supremacy. Because even though though they were gootraxians, they wanted to make the ponies they desserted from proud. And wanted the conflicted transformed masses to belief in what they do. Despite the zombie like mind the masses have now.
Egyptian authorities send a diplomatic warning to the gootraxian authorities to stop terrorising the independant states on south America. To which they agreed and gootraxian horde with trebuchets and two generals was placed on the border of Egyptian forces.
The leadership was very agressive to expand because maintaning a horde of gootraxians is costly and needed supplies from human occupied cities to keep gootraxians on the frontlines fighting. Hearing about the egyptian forces in south America, they tried to find anygoo who wasn't conflicted. In order to figure out how to build cannons.
While the sapient leadership was a republican assembly. One high ranking gootraxian in the assembly, named Kyle Squid dog Kevinson, wanted to make goverment decisions himself. So he started plotting to establish an autocracy with him in charge. Which he thought would make the military goverment more efficient.
Some after this, an egyptian soldier named Sekani was defending a fortified city.
"The abominable Furries are crossing the border, all prepare for combat." his superior said. Sekani quickly ate some bread with jam and berries. He walked up the stairs of a wall build around the city. He could see the gootraxian horde move in tight groups and try to surround the city. Their tight grouping made them easy to hit but there was too many of them. To Sekani's horror, the gootraxian tried to clime the wall. The parts of the city that didn't have an outer wall started to be damaged by fire as the horde set fire to buildings as they were advancing. Sekani found himself fighting off gootraxians climbing the wall. He managed to keep this up for hours but eventualy, gootraxians started running across the city. He saw his superior being killed and a white gootraxian with tentacles sprouting from it's back, it was going up the stair. Sekani knew his life was over, so he surrender while praying to Sekani. He felt goopy paws and tentacles grab him, then he felt mild pain as teeth started penetrate his skin. The monster started to inject it's substance from it's claws into Sekani' bloodstream. His pupils became white and his sclera black. His whole took on white color as the gootraxian substance spread from the wound. Later, he grew canine ears and tail, he developed a carnivorous teeth as well. Lastly tentacles started growing out of his back, once they grew to their full size, paw pads formed on the tips. This whole transformation took a day during which he was paralized. His mind felt conflicted. He was still intact mentaly but his now strong insticts were difficult to ignore. The gootraxian that did this to him returned saying "W-welcome t-to the ho-orde. Enjoy your new life. Get up and come with me, we have humans to transfur." Sekani mind told him no but his insticts wanted to go with the rest. Regardless, the gootraxian took him and carried him away.
Our new enemy has clearly not learned from our previous enemy, the Pony containment front. Being the cowards they are, they have decided to make a hospital at the edge of a Acrab city, their target. They broke into the hospital moderately equipped. Triggering a military responce immidiatly. Luckaly for our forces, they hed trouble penetrating the armor of professional soldiers. However they hed a big numbers advantage, which forced soldiers in reserve to shell the hospital with enemy forces. By that point, all civilians were evacuated but that also ment that no enemies could be taken prisoner and a substancial amount of resources hed to be spend to fully repair the hospital after the attack.
Now i was defending a small military base. The alarm rang as we were ordered to move to the base's only entrance. 10 soldiers in black uniforms came into the entrace and manage to shoot 8 of my comrades dead but to the suprise of the others working in the base. That was it. They only send 10 people after a lot of them got destroyed in that hospital. I was feeling tired from fighting, even if it was very short because i was injured. So i was send to infirmary to rest. So i did. I closed my eyes and rested confortably in the hospital bed while i was being treated.
Long time later...
I woke up in a seat of a truck. with four other gootraxian soldiers with me. While three other same trucks moved with us towards our battlefield. I blinked my eyes, disoriented from the sudden jolt I felt when I woke up. As my surroundings came into focus, I realized that I was seated in the back of an truck, a formidable vehicle imported by the central goverment from Nachmere. With its sturdy exterior, it provided us with the protection we needed in times of conflict.
Glancing around, I noticed my fellow soldiers, their expressions a mix of determination and alertness. The gravity of the situation hung heavily in the air, but we all shared the unspoken understanding that we had a duty to fulfill.
As the truck rumbled forward, I clenched my fists, the adrenaline coursing through my veins. The engine's roar filled my ears, drowning out any other sounds, amplifying the tension within me. I stole a quick glance outside, only to see three more moose trucks trailing behind us, their military insignias glinting in the sunlight.
We were all part of a coordinated assault team, strategically positioned for a joint attack on an enemy stronghold. The stakes were high, and success was imperative. Each truck carried within it a squad of highly trained Gootraxian soldiers, each with their unique skills and expertise. We were a force to be reckoned with.
As we advanced, the landscape transformed into a war-torn battleground—a bleak reminder of the conflicts that had plagued our world. The destruction and chaos weighed heavily on my mind, but I knew I couldn't let it distract me from the mission at hand. I focused my attention on the task ahead, mentally preparing myself for what lay ahead.
The radio crackled to life, the voice of our commanding officer filling the cabin. His voice was steady, radiating confidence and guidance. He reminded us of our objective, emphasizing the importance of coordination and unity. We listened intently, absorbing his words and drawing strength from his unwavering resolve.
In that moment, a profound sense of camaraderie enveloped our small group within the truck. Though we came from different backgrounds and had varying experiences, we were bound together by our shared purpose. We were soldiers, ready to fight for our people, for our home.
As the convoy of moose trucks continued its steady advance, I felt a strange mix of anxiety and anticipation. The battlefield awaited us, promising unknown challenges and perhaps even dire consequences. But I pushed those thoughts aside, focusing on the belief that our training, our determination, and our unity would see us through.
With a surge of adrenaline, I tightened my grip on my weapon, the familiar weight providing a sense of reassurance. I exchanged glances with my fellow soldiers, the unspoken bond between us fueling our determination. Together, we would face whatever awaited us on the battlefield and fight until the very end.
As the armored moose 640 truck trudged forward alongside its companions, my heart pounded with a potent mixture of fear and bravery. The time for action had arrived, and we couldn't afford to hold back. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the unknown, ready to unleash the full force of my Gootraxian spirit upon the battlefield that awaited us.
Suddenly i heard a an explosion and saw the front of our truck being destroyed. "Ambush!" yelled the driver. We officialy entered hostile territory in Holy Coalition of New Antarctica. I Opened the truck's door. I grabbed my rifle, with magazines containing syringes filled with assimilative goo. I was wearing my expensive improved Combined Tactical Vest. I see border control units from Ore res. They were shooting at us, so i shot back with my rifle. Those shot were paralized. they were lucky, because my comrades in the truck hed conventional firearms. We fought and i lost two comrades, the one driving and one who was a marksman. As we fought. An airship flew by to pick us up. A nearby trucked arrived to transport away the bagged supplies that our truck carried before it's engine was destroyed. Me with my comrade have escaped by an airship to a small port. Which we were suppose to take over and were given a medic bag and an ammo bag. We both hed the same expensive armor and managed to take it over. Even if only temporaly. I counted and can confirm that i paralized 259 enemies. However by the end of this mission they must have been transformed. I have no idea what happened to them after they were transfured, my guess is that they were left to die...
Three of us are send to a ammunition factory. Our objective is to take it over. I arrived with two other gootraxian soldiers assigned to the mission. We arrive and there was a light security to take care of. They weren't a problem. The problem was that we hed to fight off the units of units of Ore res's border control. The battle was tougher then last time. I lost all the comrades assigned to me on this mission. At least i manage to finish the rest of the mission solo without being captured or killed. I turned on the radio to inform my commander about my success and that there are paralized enemies mid transfurmation that need to be transported. It was supidly cold, even with a heated uniform that was under my armor. I was also almost out of syringes for my rifle. I was told by my commander that i support is on the way. Apparently i will be taking a train to my next destination, when someone who can drive a locomotive arrives to help me on the next assignment. I patroled for a little before going inside to get much needed heat...
Later we traveled by train to a town and found a building of strategic importance. So me, with other gootraxian soldiers have started destroying it. Ofcourse such action could not go unnoticed and we hed border control officers after us. We manage to hold ground inside the mostly destroyed building. The battle lasted so long that i ran out of syringes to shoot. However we still hed officers coming after us so we ran back towards the train that we arrived by. Running with heavy armor in freezing cold outside was awful but it was what we hed to do. I arrived in the train alive with everyone else but someone may have a scar after this ordeal. I was expecting our enemy to try to take out the train but we managed to get back to the ammunition factory that was captured earlier. We resupplied and chatted. Our higher up has decided that since there are wounded and paralized enemy units. They would be taken to a local hospital. So it was decided that we will travel a shorter distance by train. Locate a manhole of the town sewer system and try to sneak inside the local hospital...
We manage to sneek inside the hospital but people weren't blind and raised the alarm. I yelled at everyone to get on the ground. Most complied with few running away. We quickly searched the hospital and found where they were keeping the people undergoing transfurmation. We found them physicaly almost fully transfured but there were few who weren't paralized anymore and tried to attack us out of confusion. My armored comrade was knocked over so i went to help him. Only to also be knocked over by goopy paws. We hed to move fast as hostile forces came into the hospital. The resulting gunfire of our clash causing a lot of civilians to get cought in crossfire. The battle was long as we were carrying paralized bodies out of the hospital into the sewer. I ran out of ammo after paralizing 275 more enemy units. Our armor was still holding up but we were exhausted. The assaults of Ore res's border control, did stop. Giving us enough time to move through the stinking sewer system towards the train...
After this things were quite unexciting. I was send to regroup with other professional soldiers and start capturing more economicaly useful territory in Holy Coalition of New Antarctica. The cold here is brutal but survivable with heated clothes. I continued doing my job, using my rifle with goo filled syringes. After were were exhausted from combat. We hid inside a big heated building and chatted. We hed gourment carnivore rations with horison rosemary spice. I could over hear my comrades questioning why we went to fight on this frozen wasteland and i have to agree. The best answer we got so far was that it's for spreading gootraxians and to get favours from foreigners who are sympathethic towards us. To me this doesn't seem worth it since the terrain and climate is so awful. I hope we get to go home soon. It's really damm cold outside and getting whicles here and out is difficult. We also have medics taking care of the captured people who got transfured. They administered them a inteliboost serum each. They are recovering but will need psychological care and some education before they can be integrated into Anocratic empire.
After all the transfurs were taken care of, i felt tired. The medics decided that since took care of the newly transfured. They will do medical medical tests on me and others. In my case, they just wanted to quickly draw my latex to check for abnormalities. A medic applied a small amount of desinfectant and i feld a little sting of a needle. The filled syringe was withdrawn. "You are good to go Percy. You are doing good work out there." said the medic petting my shoulder. I walked out of the improvised hospital part of the building. And went back to chatting with my comrades who were hanging out next to heaters. We found out that the micro nation we just took over hed weird name "West104 sounds more like a regional designation then a state name." I say "I agree with you Percy, probably thats why those units who identified as working for Ore res defended this place instead of someone else." Said one of my comrades. A higher ranking soldier has walked up to our group saying "I need to tell you that our commanding officers have decided that we need to do a careful retreat." I hed a annoyed expression saying "Ah, that means we will have to travel in the freezing cold again. We aren't in position to argue. It's probably for the better, no more fighting in this frozen wasteland."
The retreat took a while but we haven't encountered any hostile forces on the way back. Thankfuly because we were quite exposed. We traveled towards the ocean where The teleportation back took place. Which was the reason we needed to retreat. There was no way to contact high command back home, so they imposed a deadline for a successful occupation. Since we didn't successfuly occupy the whole region. We need to get back where we were teleported originaly, when the costly to run teleportation device home is activated. In the end i got home with the rest of my comrades. We hed minimal casualties but that was expected. At least i got to shoot 1255 humans with assimilative goo. I also overheard that moral guides of Ignoble-harmonism will be send there to try to recruit some people to join us.
police militarisationMilitary quality indexmilitarizationPonies and kirins
Military uniforms have a purple color. They are usualy made of animal leather that has been painted. Military uniforms have a serial number over the person's cutie mark. However not many use them, since they are unconfortable to wear over coat (natural fur) with an armor on top of it. A soldier's rank is indicated by a leg band.
Gootraxians
All gootraxians wear this heated uniform with a serial number printed on the uniform's back. It contains electric heating pads that keep the soldier alive during low temperatures. A soldier's rank is indicated by an additional arm band.
Specialists normaly are issued proper armor. However when that is not an option, they are just given their specialist uniforms.
Battle medic: Trained shooters and medical proffesionals. They carry medkits on their sides, they are issued vials of drugs and potions. Which they can use to stimulate fellow soldiers to improve their battlefield performance slightly.
Vanguard: Soldiers who are loyal bad bad at shooting. They carry a big ballistic shield and a one handed firearm. Their only real purpose is to provide moving cover for the more experienced soldiers, along with being a distraction. Which is why you won't see many of them.
Underminer: they consist of creatures with high mining skill. Their purpose is to to breach enemy fortifications or mine under them. Among their main firearm, they are issued a heavy pickaxe with a thump launcher and two mining bombs for said launcher. They are also trained in building basic barricades for providing additional cover.
Pictured gootraxian specialist soldiers with scavanged industrial weapons. Normaly specialists would have advanced weapons if the situation would allow it.
Mechathrumbos special force consists of five mechathrumbos which are giant robots which were recovered from an abandoned laboratory on Acrab. They have cannons on their backs which while slow, fire devastating high yield shells. They aren't as resistant as dragons are. They are ten times bigger then a human. Their main disadvantage is that they need to be in range of an antena, to recieve instructions.
Medals for years of service are made of jade. Star of valor, made of painted volcanic glass and is given for exceptional performance on the battlefield. Star of a protector, made of plasteel and painted with some white paint, tts given out to soldiers who have 50 or more confirmed kills. Malachite of the maimed is given to soldiers who have been maimed in combat.
Forging these medals is considered a crime.

An anti machine rifle which fires .416 barrett bullets. It can only load one bullet at a time, so it must be reloaded after every shot. Has very good penetration depth. It has the same weight as Furry-L as well as the same iron sight. It also comes attached with a generic heavy suppresor and skeleton grip. It doesn't have a stock, since such a weapon doesn't need it. It comes manufatured in a black-cyan pattern. 2000 units have been manufactured so far.
Draconic designThe Draconic design is a magical inciendary assault rifle which fires at a rate of 750 projectiles per minute. It has a effective range of 27 meters. It is loaded with with a cartrige containing a magicaly charged quartz. The magical energy contained in the quartz is then fed into a converter, which ejects it as unfocused beam which is then focused by lenses inside the weapon. One of these fully charged cartriges is enough to fire 40 inciendary projectiles. This weapon is good in situations where an enemy is more protected against bullets then heat.
MSMGThe MSMG is a magical lazer submachine gun which fires at a rate of 900 short beams per minute. It has a effective range of 23 meters. It is loaded with with a cartrige containing a magicaly charged quartz. The magical energy contained in the quartz is then fed into a converter, which ejects it as unfocused beam which is then focused by lenses inside the weapon. One of these fully charged cartriges is enough to fire 50 beams. This weapon is good in situations where an enemy is more protected against bullets then heat.
Bat-pony inquisition
This is a cryptic mercenary organization that is against religious people. Their main mission is to make sure god of fire and destruction, Solar does not break free from their containment facility. Being trapped and sealed by the destroyed monolith. Most of the organization are Bat-ponies and apecialize in close range combat. Using mainly automatic shotguns and powerful but still short ranged double barrel shotguns. However they also have cryptic freezing weapons.
Their logo is a medalion with a four color rune with mirrored bat-pony wings next to it. The containment facility:
Culture
public holidays National sportcolor symbolism foods and drinksyou know you're from Bigpipstan when...About our flagVideo gamesalchohol cultureanthemCalender: Twelve months, all twenty-eight days. Three hundred and thirty-six days a year. Days are called: Redday, Orangeday, Yellowday, Greenday, Cyanday, Blueday, Violetday.
One thing that may be suprising is that ponies in Anocratic empire don't drink what many would consider "normal wine" Ponies drink wine made from fermented mushrooms. There is the home made wine with yellow color and earthly flavour made in the mainland and in Fequm and there is also "Shimmer wine." Which is wine made by fermenting specific mushrooms from east islands on Acrab. Those three specific mushrooms are called Gleamcap, Glowbulb and Shimmershroom.
People in Anocratic empire use equine terms when refering to parts of the body. So some things end up being horse puns.
Some political terms are used differently. An "egalitarian" is someone who is very difficult to convert, sees apostasy as abhorent, never prosetilizes and sees slavery as horrible. A "transhumanist" is someone who yearns for robotic bodyparts. Being "religious" means worshipping a deity. A "republican" is someone who advocates for a rule of three people. A "nationalist" is a extremist who wants to streghten national unity by having commisars executing 'undesirables'. An "individualist" is someone who likes being surrounded by people with different ideology. "Corporatism" is any ideology that favors capitalism.
The anocratic empire does not have a taboo on public nudity. Majority only wears clothes when the conditions aren't favourable. However it is possible to encounter few ponies who wear jewery or specific clothes to appear more socialy likable.
The national sport is buckball which comes with the following rules: the game is played between two teams, each consisting of an earth pony, a pegasus, and a unicorn; the earth pony (offense) bucks the ball into a basket held by their unicorn (catcher), while the pegasus (defense) blocks the opponents' basket and passes the ball to their earth pony. It also mixes in the opening face-off of basketball and full contact with the ball with any part of the pony's body like football/soccer. First team to score six goals wins.
Customs
In terms of customs there is few that you need to know, they are: Don't eat a meal without a table, unless you have to. Take off your shoes when entering a building, if you don't wear shoes then wash your hoofs or feet after entering. Respect elders. It is expected to work somewhat diligently. Follow the virtues of Harmony to the best of your ability. Don't touch people without their consent (there are exceptions). Don't be sexist. Don't do crime.
The last two are enforced by law. The those before them just make people dissapointed in you.
Architecture
Most building in Bigpipstan have renesance and constructivist style, with majority of low buildings being build of stone blocks while materials such as concreate are reserved for taller constructions such as apartment buildings. The average town is designed in a circular shape with with residential buildings being on the edge and everything else being in the center. This way everything in the town is within walking distance.
Transportation
Majority of people get around by trains. Trains in Anocratic empire run only on electricity. The railway network is extensive and you can travel to a lot of places by just switching trains at train stops. Train transportation is free for everyone, operation is covered by local administration and is overseen by ministry of transportation.
The mainland makes use of hydrogen filled zeppelins. These zeppelins are used only for transport of cargo. More commonly used are thermal airships, which are mostly used to transport cargo but not exclusively.
Since the empire is spread across three planets, the use of magicaly powered teleporters. Teleporters are gates that consume a lot of magical energy to connect two points in space and time. Due to their high energy consumption, they can only be opened temporaly to let people and cargo through. Teleportation gates are normaly guarded by eight soldiers or police officers, because their security is crucial. There is few of these connecting the mainland to Fequm and Acrab.
While there is no wide spread use of automobiles, there are steam powered ambulances, steam police whicles and chemfuel powered military trucks. This is due to not having access to crude oil deposits, since the eviroment the empire is in, did not allow for any significant formation of oil deposits.
Due to pressure from enemy forces and to a degree, also from the general public the government has been in recent times investing resources into developing new whicles which are biofuel powered, as opposed to old steam powered whichles. This resulted in two new prototypes. Those being:
The Albatross, an aircraft capable of carrying up to 7 passenger. It can perform bombing runs do to it's good speed and fuel efficiency. Combined with fuel capacity of 1600L and normal combat accuracy. On top of serving as a military whicle, it is also capable of transporting up to 2200kg of goods with an internal electricity generator.
Another combat vehicle being the Manticore. Which is a 6500kg main battle tank consuming biofuel and can fit a crew of 4. It has additional composite armor installed on it. It's turret can be useful against infantry.
The Anocratic empire has also developed a new transport truck to deliver soldiers and supplies where they are needed to be transported by land, with no train available.
Warship designed for coastal bombardment. Can fire 12 explosives at once and can move rather quickly. Capable of taking reasonable damage without sinking. Four of these were manufactured so far in Acrab.
Laser cutting vehicle which carries two magical lasers, powered by magical energy. It is used for mining tough rock.
Prototype for a defensive orbital spaceship.
this strange creature is a huge unicellular organism genetically modified to serve as a biological cleaning machine. Acanthamoebas will happily feed on most types of non-metallic trash, engorging themselves in the process.\n\nAfter a certain amount of feedings, Acanthamoebas will increase in size and, after reaching a threshold, they will split into two different individuals. How this rare creature came to be is unknown.
Atlas crab
A large crab which uses a boulder for a shell. These massive crabs have incredible strength and are commonly seen carrying big boulders that would normally crush living things and machinery alike. These rare crabs are vegetarian and are capable of living for multiple centuries. For comparison these massive crabs are four time bigger then ponies.
Gigantilope
An ideal pack beast that carries more weight than their body mass would usually allow. While they are mammals, Gigantelopes have pneumatized bones, meaning they have hollow spaces within them: pneumatized bones are strong, dense and sturdy without being heavy. The gigantelope has a variable carrying capacity, set by their genome at birth.
Animus vox
The
Animus Vox is a small canine with limited telepathic abilities. Like all canines, it is quite intelligent for an animal. It will however quickly bond with human beings and reach with its mind to make happy everyone that treats it well. They are alien hybrids between foxes and wolfs. They are exlusive to AcrabEye clams
They live on Nuchadus and seem to be geneticaly related to lava snails living on Nuchadus with them.
Ursaunixoe
A carnivore that lives in the cold parts on planet Acrab, it mainly hunts fish in rivers and cold bogs. It sometimes digs up the ground for insects if it can't get fish protein.

The paracyte thornbush is a plant that absorbs magical energy through a process of magical transpiration and collects it into a chrysalis. As the plant matures, the chrysalis hardens into crystal which can be harvested. The rest of the plant consists of almost glass-like thorns and rigid stems.
Paracyte is difficult to grow and only skilled herbalists are able to plant and harvest it safely, but for all it's difficulties, it has a delicate beauty and gives off an ethereal glow that reflects light along its crystalline edges. These do not grow naturaly in the wild.
Xerigium
A slow-growing plant which is used as a herbal medicine after harvest. Sowing and harvesting healroot are both very labor-intensive tasks because of its delicate roots. Xerigium was selectively bred for centuries by settlers. Xerigium also contains small amount of precurser chemicals for many medical and recreational drugs.
Glowvine
A mutagen-infused plant that sprouts odd blue bulbs. Used togather with precurser drug chemicals to synthesize cure of loosing sapience. Unlike other plants, it only grows in 0-15 degrees C
Chaobulb
A mutagen-infused plant that sprouts odd orange bulbs. Used to make assimilative goo.
Gauranlen tree
A large, distinctive-looking tree with a unique life-cycle. Each Gauranlen tree contains a small non-conscious animal queen. The queen births animals called dryads which guard and tend the tree. In exchange, the tree nurtures its protectors by feeding them directly. From the outside, it appears the dryads are created by the tree directly and act as part of it. It is possible for a person to form a connection with a Gauranlen tree and partially control the dryads it produces. This tree grows very fast fasts and to remain healthy, it needs a lot of prunning. The tree is classified as beeing near extinction.
Horizon Rosemary
An endangered plant which has blueish leafs. This is because it has evolved cells that interact with background magic field. This can be used as a condiment for gourmed meals. This might be why it is endangered. When consuned in a cooked meal, it provides a slight temporaly boost to skin's resistance to blunt force and tearing. Why it evolved this trait is unknown but it's not helping it's survivability. As it's name implies, it shares many aspects with Salvia rosmarinus. When eaten, Horizon Rosemary has a spicy taste. It naturaly grows on Fequm. It has been discovered and documented by a gootraxian named Noob Marshall.
Humpshroom
A mushroom with an unfortunate name. It's named like that because it acts as a potent aphrodisiac. This mushroom is native to Fequm. It used to be cultivated to make hormone drugs for gender transitioning. However this was costly in terms of time and labor and hed health side effects; so this method became obsolite once a organ growing facility became operational on Acrab. Humpshrooms now are instead used to make a drug that support sperm production. However this is still costly process due to the amount of humpshrooms needed for chemical extraction.
Humpshroom can't tolerate direct sunlight, so it can't be grown outside or in greenhouses. It demands a temperature between 0° to 58° celsius, otherwise it won't grow as fast as normal and starts dieing.
Adaba
A sour purple mushroom that grows in dark places. It acts as a natural halucigen. It has gills on hymenium, it's cap is umbonate, it's stipe is bare. It's native to coasts of Fequm.
Education
This only covers inventions not found in real life. Ordered from oldest to newest.
Cloning
While cloning does exist on Earth to a extent, scientists in Anocratic empire have developed this technology further. Imperial cloning allows artificialy creating fully grown creatures (not mentaly, just biologically) using DNA samples from individuals. This technology has been approved for small scale reproductive cloning and has seen approval by the majority of population as well. This technology has potencial to increase the number of desirable traits in the gene pool(exeptional hand-eye coordination,strong back, faster then usual learning, etc.), while potentialy slightly reducing undesirable traits in the gene pool (psychopathy, sociopathy, inheritable illnesses, etc.) Ilustration of the first clone created:
This technology however has been frowned opon by the general public and because of this, has been discontinued until futher notice. Nowdays it is only used to grow natural organs.
Biome crystal extraction and biome crystal teleporter
We have created a magic extraction device, that can extract large amounts of ambient magical energy and store those large amounts of magical energy into biome crystals for further use. These charged crystals have to be used quite quickly since the large amount stored in the crystals slowly discharges.
We also created a teleportation device that runs on these biome crystals. The teleportation device can sustain up to two portal gates at once, depending on the energy provided. The device itself is imprecise and needs calibration, which can take up to 15 days.
Assimilative goo synthesize
Technology of gootraxian implants that synthesize assimilative version of their substance from internal chemical reactors for use in assimilative attacks. Simply fangs and claws capable of injecting assimilative goo into the target. Some gootraxians allready have this, but we have a issue where we generaly only want this ability only for selected gootraxians serving in the military, so we can remove the natural ones and install implants into gootraxians who we want to be able to assimilate.
High calibre autonomous turrets
Autonomous turrets are stationary weapon turrets which have an electronic system pulling the trigger when reccognizing a threat. When active, it will turn around and when it sees a face and and movement, it will fire on it's own. These systems come with a safety feature that allows remote forbidding of fire but not remote control of the turret turning. These turrets are often not that accurate and can cause friendly fire at longer ranges. They come in two designs. Autocannon turret: A heavy automatic turret. Its large-caliber shells do heavy damage over significant ranges, but its barrel must be refurbished after use. It cannot fire at close-up targets, and may explode when damaged. Uranium slug turret: An armor-piercing turret. Its ultra-dense uranium shells can punch through heavy armor, but it requires new uranium slugs to be loaded after use. It's more accurate at longer ranges, and can't fire at all close up. May explode when damaged. <- Uranium slug turret
Gourmet rations
A culinary work of art, characterized by refined, even elaborate preparation and presentation of an aesthetically balanced, albeit low quantity meal. Preserved for use by military personal. You may be asking if this is really an invention. To which i ask "Have you ever heard a soldier say that their rations taste good?" These tasty rations are very far from becoming the norm but once they start getting at least a little more common, it will make ponies and gootraxians glad to serve in the military.
Advanced magical batteries
Advanced magical batteries are more sophisticated way of storing a lot magical energy then more easier to construct gemstone batteries. They are based on iridium and berkelium. Since it was discovered that these two elements interact with the background magic field. However while they are more efficient (Able to store ten times more thaums then gemstone batteries of the same size) they are much more costly and don't last long since the radioactive berkelium decays with time. These batteries are used to power temporaly portals, which are used to send messages to other nationstates. These batteries are heavy and difficult to transform do to being made mostly of iridium. From the outside they have appearence of grey cylinders with a indicator of how much magical energy is stored in them. However these indicators are somewhat inaccurate do to being affected by background magic field.
In terms of education, the literacy rate is 99.8%. Elementary (basic school) is compulsory and consists of a 9 year study. The education system does not use grades. Homeschooling isn't that uncommon but wast majority of people do still learn at school. Teachers try their best to cultivate in learning collaboration, content and choice. Instead of promoting competition through grades and rewards. Teachers encourage studends to help each other in learning and work collaboratively. Teachers also try to make the content of schools relatable to their real lifes. Teachers don't allways have assignmens pre planned. Instead they give students choice in how they want to approach learning a topic in a way that makes them care about studying. Which means that teachers loose some control but gives students independence and space to be curious.
The most well known school on the empire's mainland is the Alpha school.
There is also an old abandoned space station orbiting Equus. Which was used for research and failed attempts at mining nearby asteroid.
